in a fine mist. I have used the device for moistening air, the main feature of the device being a pair of disks so set relatively to each other as to discharge between them, the liquid in a fine mist or spray.

The invention will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1' is a side elevation, partly in section, of one embodiment of the invention and showin also its mode of use; Fig. 2 an enlarged etail view of one of the liquid outlets from the supply pipe to the atomizing disks of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 a transverse seotion on theplane of the line 33 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 a view of a modification more articularly with relation to the supply 0? li uid to the atomizing disks; and Fig. -5 a etail of Fig. 4. Similar reference numerals indicate similar parts in the several views.

Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, thenumeral 1 designates a liquid supply pipe supported casing 3 within which the atomizer is placed. 1

in any suitable way 1n a standard/2 of the The end of the pipe 1 is closed and its lower side provided with-openings 4. Sup

orted upon the, i i v? e are collars 5, each aving inverted aped sections or. portions 6 which serve to deflect the liquid 1 against the sides of the disks 7 and 8. The lat- V .disk 8-with a fiat base and an outwardly flaring flange 8. The diameter of disk 7 is preferablysubstantially the same as that of the base or bottom of] disk 8, so that when the disks are placed in juxtaposition-there will be a ma mal slot or space between the edge of disk and disk 8 substantially as shown.- ,In practice the disks may be of any desired diameter. I have made them of' pair or more than two "pairs. The

about eight inch as in diameter with the marglnal slot betwer :11 the disks of'from 2/8ths to 3/8ths of an inch. The disks are secured together in any suitable manner so as to bearing block 16 through which the shaft 11 passes. The block 16 is supported in a bracket 17 within the casing 3. In additionto the openings 4. I may provide an additional opening 4' between the sets of attomizing disks, as shown in Fig. 1, to deliver a portion of the liquid against the outer sides of the disk 8. V

In operation, the water or other liquid to be'sprayed or at )mi zed is admitted through pipe 1 and escapes through openings 4 and 4. As the liquid leaves the pipe it is deflected against the sides of the rapidly rotatin disks along the s lrfaces of which it is sprea into a relatively thin. sheet, and as these sheets meet in the space between the edge of the disk 7 and the disk 8 the are directed against the flal e 8', and y the latter thrown 01f into t e space Within the casing 3. The centrif'lgal force by which the liquid is thrown off from the disk 8 is such as to break up the liquid into 'ver fine particles, in fact, to atomize the liquid so that it appears in the form of a mist. I

The construction illustrated has been used by me for moistening air, and in such case I connect the pipe 1 with a source of water supply. The an 14 creates a current of air an is thrown 111 wardand outward against the issuing aton ized or water spray. The

air current so moisten'ed is distributed through the open end of the casing 8 into the room in which the atomizer is located.

In-Fig. 4 I have shown a modification adapted for installations .where the supply ofwaterto the-i adividual-atomizers may be regulated. In his form the atomizers are supported to rot ate about a pipe 18 having j ecting a closed outer end. The water is delivered from a tank 19 through valved connections to distributing i es 20, 21 and 22, all of which are exten e5 into pipe 18, their outer ends being closed. The pipe 18 is formed with o i 18 through which project short pipes 20, 21 and 22 in roximity to the faces of the disks 7 and 8. y adjusting the valves in the connections to the pipes 20, 21 and 22 the volume of water to each unit may be regulated.

atomizmg What claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. A liquid atomizer comprising two disks placed in juxtaposition so as to provide a marginal opening between them, said disks being of different diameters and the larger having an outwardly projectin flange, a stationary perforated liquid supp y pipe extendin into the space between the disks so as to geliver the liquid into the space between the disks, and means for rotating said 2 A liquid atomizer comprising a substantiall flat disk having an outwardly proange, aconcave disk placed in juxtaposition to said fflat disk with its edge v within the plane of the edge of said flange,

so as to provide 'a' marginal opening between the disks, a stationary perforated llquid supp y 'P e the disiks extendin into the space between so as to eliver the liquid into the space betweenthe disks, and means for roe tat said 3. liquid atomizer comprising a hollow body consisting of two disks placed in juxtaposition so as-to supply 1pc extending into the s ace be tween the disks, means for rotatihg said disks, and meanssulpported by said supply e water from said pipe sips for deflecting t irectly against each disk.

4. A liquid atomizer comprising a concave disk and a substantially flat disk, said disks being placed in juxtaposition so as to provide a marginal slot or opening betweenpgrforated suppgg pipe about which .7

them, a

said dis are suppo deflectors below the openings in said pipe to direct the liquid against the sides of the disks, and means for rotating said disks.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of the subscribing witnesses. 1
